Where to Find RADMIN32.DLL and RLOCAL32.DLL 

Keywords:     RADMIN32.DLL RLOCAL32.DLL

Question:

I'm tring to use Winbatch in a logon script for Win95 computers. I need to check the user name against NT global groups. There are a few functions that seem to do this, below is from a help file. 
	AddExtender("WWW9X34I.DLL")
	groups=w9xMemberGrps("","jdoe",@GLOBALGROUP,0)
	AskItemList("jdoe is associated with",groups,@tab,@sorted,@single)
However, when I run this (even compiled with the dlls) I get a "591 Func not available (RADMIN32.DLL and RLOCAL32.DLL required)" error. Where can I get these DLLs and what are they used for?

Answer:

  1. Overview:

    In order to access various networking information on an NT box from a 95/98 client, Microsoft made access available to a DLL named SVRAPI.DLL. SVRAPI.DLL contains a lobotomized mini-subset of the Net*() APIs, nothing else.

    When Microsoft ported the NT administration tools (User Manager, Server Manager, Event Viewer, and so on) to Win95, their solution was to call RADMIN32.DLL. If you have at least one NT Server, you also have that DLL -- it hides on the NT Server CD, in a subdirectory \CLIENTS, as part of the "NT Administration Tools for Windows 95" or something.

    I am not a lawyer, but the way I read the license, you are allowed to install the DLL on every Win95 machine that has a per-seat client access license for any NT Server, or that accesses a concurrently-licensed NT Server through the temporary use of such a concurrent license. You are not allowed to redistribute the stuff (not even RADMIN32.DLL and RLOCAL32.DLL, which are all you need, and which would fit nicely into a redistribution package).

  2. Do you have the RADMIN DLLs installed? If not, you need to install them yourself. They can be found in the Windows 95 Service Pack 1. Located on the CD either in admin\tools\servmgmt\ or in the \clients directory, as proposed above.

    The files are also a part of the NT Server Management Tools.

One user reported that you can simple download and install the file nexus.exe, part of Windows 95 Service Pack 1 Individual Components.

Use this link:

It will take you to this page: Availability of Microsoft Windows 95 Service Pack 1 Look down the page for the section: "Windows 95 Service Pack 1 Individual Components" and in that section you will find "Nexus.exe" (as a hot link that will start the download).
